And wrong.

You must provide a way to get the sources, for at most the cost of doing
the copy and the actual distribution, you are NOT required to distribute
them with your binaries. Just read the GPL again. Distributing the
sources together with the binaries is just one way to comply.

See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html 3 a-c
